Unimpressed fans flocked to social media to slam the decision, with several saying that they'd chosen to prioritise the ITV2 dating show - and were gutted they'd missed Jack Branning being stabbed in the soap. A spokesperson for the soap said: "With the growing popularity of this year’s Women’s World Cup, it was decided that BBC One viewers should have the opportunity to watch as many of the matches as possible.

"Although this meant a late schedule change for EastEnders this week, we are confident that our audience know they can watch EastEnders on BBC iPlayer as we have already seen a significant number of viewers watching this week’s episodes."
